The F1 team that's had the best winter

By:

As F1 launch season approaches, the inevitable demand for teams to nail their colours to the mast and declare their ambitious targets for the season ahead begins.

For them to do so with any sense of certainty is nigh on impossible, though, for a team's form is always as much about what its rivals do as what it achieves itself.
